New Freeware Enclosure Design Software, Basta!


Krakin

Recommended Posts

This is a great program that just recently became completely free as described on their website:

http://www.tolvan.com/index.php?page=%2Fbasta%2Fbasta.php

Basta! is a computer program for simulation of loudspeaker systems. Basta! can simulate open baffles, closed boxes, vented boxes ("bass reflex") and 1- and 2-ported bandpass systems. For ported enclosures, pipe resonances in the vent can be simulated. Instead of a vent, the ported enclosures can have a passive radiator. Basta! also includes simulation of baffle step, lossy voice coil inductance, multiple and isobaric drivers. Basta! can also simulate active and passive crossover filters, most passive crossover networks and AC-bass. Basta! also has a room gain approximation and can add a Linkwitz transform to the response.
Basta! shows graphs for the frequency response of the system and the individual driver and ports, cone and vent velocity and excursion, driving voltage box pressure, electrical impedance and its resistive and inductive parts. Finally, Basta! can also calculate a maximally allowed output level from the system, based on the maximum power amplifier voltage, Re power, cone excursion, vent excursion and vent velocity.

Update policy from Basta! version 1
Basta! is discontionued and thus unsupported, however it is now considered as freeware.
Use the serial number D4E5-EEA9-A5CE-8BD0 to get it started.
Known issue on Win 8 and 10: You will have to run the software once with administrative privileges for it to start. Right-click on Basta.exe and select "run as administrator".

Krakin's Home Dipole Project

Krakin, are you some sort of mad scientist?

I would have replied earlier, but I was measuring the output of my amp with a yardstick . . .

What you hear is not the air pressure variation in itself

but what has drawn your attention

in the two streams of superimposed air pressure variations at your eardrums

An acoustic event has dimensions of Time, Tone, Loudness and Space

Everyone learns to render the 3-dimensional localization of sound based on the individual shape of their ears,

thus no formula can achieve a definite effect for every listener.
